* On Sewickley Light Up Night, Friday, December 2nd, the Sewickley Gallery & Frame Shop will present two artists who have never before shown in Sewickley. Oil painter Mark Mentzer offers a variety of work including large cityscapes of Pittsburgh and small still lifes from around his studio. To Mentzer, these are one and the same; in both subjects, he sees only shapes. The shapes in the cityscapes repeat themselves in the smaller shapes of the objects on the tabletops. Some cityscapes appear as paintings within paintings, leaving the viewer unsure of whether he is looking out a window or at a painting casually propped up on a desktop. All are architecturally rendered giving them a contemporary feel. His muted grays take on their surrounding colors and heighten the pure color accents. |
